I am currently situated in a region of Australia called the Sunshine Coast. I should put the Sunshine part in quotes because we've been somewhat unlucky with the weather. Despite the rain and colder weather than we were expecting, we have managed to avoid wet weather lunch periods which is good because it gives the students an opportunity to work off some of that extra energy that would usually morph itself into behavior problems. It showed that the students didn't have their usual outlet to work off some of their energy during the afternoon session. Overall, it was a great day as usual. I began planning for my SOSE unit plan. It will answer 6 major questions.
1. What is culture?
2. What was life like for Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander people before the Europeans arrived?
3. What was life like for Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander people after the Europeans arrived? 4. What was life like for Native Americans before the Europeans arrived?
5. What was life like for Native Americans after the Europeans arrived? 6. What comparisons can be made between the Indigenous people of Australia and Native Americans?
I would love to go into more depth but right now I need to grade the Maths work and plan my lesson for Monday. After each lesson I'll put up a more detailed description about the different activities I try with the students.
